live demonstrations are offered on weekends that are a must see! the castle itself is nice and original. one of the highlights is nagoya employs people to play the roles of previous shogun/samurai etc that are from ieyasu’s time. if you speak Japanese, they will only speak to you in traditional speech which adds to the experience. it is almost like stepping back into time and experiencing Japans history. they still offer a decent amount of english translated history etc.they also have a nice tea house with a cat who may visit you

The two cities tour routes and the Chinese guide book are doing very well. It is the most organized scenic spot in Japan for a week of free travel. ~ worth a visit! The Chinese guide book at the door must remember to take it!

Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ Maple Leaf season came to Nara, Dongda Temple is a must-have place to enjoy the maple. Before I came, I didn't know that the scale of the East Temple was so large, with the Big Buddha Hall as the center, surrounded by the East and West Seven Towers, there are South Gate, there are lecture halls, there are Jietan Courtyards, there are Zhengcang Courtyards, there are February Halls, Fahua Halls, Kaishan Halls, etc. It is really magnificent. It is said that the Big Buddha Hall is the world's largest wooden building. It was just that it was late afternoon from Nara Park to Todaiji Temple, and there was not enough time to browse one by one, only entering the February hall of the temple. But just such a hasty and quick tour is enough to be shocked by the landscape of Red Maple. If you have the opportunity, you must come again!

Spring Day Club, located on the Spring Day Mountain in Nara Park, although it is a mountain, it is actually a little slope. It has a history of more than 1,300 years and has been listed by the United Nations on the World List of Cultural and Historical Heritage Protection. It is the temple of the Fujiwara family, which is a prominent Japanese history, and is dedicated to the patron saint of their family. The Fujiwara family has manipulated the Japanese royal family for more than 300 years, and is also an active promoter and practitioner of the Chinese political and social system and has been fully transplanted into Japan. The never-cut spring mountain, the purple alfalfa that symbolizes family names and ethnic surnames, the mysterious apple tree, the moss-covered stone lanterns, the sticky fawn are all worth seeing.

Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The Huajian Road in the garden is also near the hotel where you live, and it can be reached in steps. Sometimes it takes a few times a day. Huajian Road has always felt that the name is very wonderful, a bit romantic and a little fresh. It is said that this is a famous geisha area, but I didn't see much geisha ladies. There are many young ladies who wear kimonos. Huajian Road is also a scenic spot worth visiting. The layout structure is more traditional Japanese style and characteristics. There are also many snacks and dining places. Because the itinerary is slightly rushed, there is no more stops in Huajian Road.
